I love Critical Role, especially Campaign 2, but I found the plot of this story a bit hard to follow. The art was beautiful but I thought the story could’ve used a bit more background before we were thrown into the plot.

A good amount of lore, much not much where story is concerned. It could get a bit confusing at times. I absolutely love the artwork in this, however!

I love this story and I'm glad we get some insight into both Leylas and Quana, but damn that shit is fucked up. Super intense, more than I had expected for sure.
